Here are the two special techniques associated with the
Participatory Approach:

• Dialoguing
In the Participatory Approach, teacher and students dialogue about issues in the students’ lives that relate
to their power and the power of others. Students are encouraged ‘to perceive critically the way they exist in the world with which and in which they find themselves’ (Freire 1970: 64).

• Problem Posing
The teacher poses a problem that she has identified from dialoguing with students. Students are encouraged to examine their own practices and beliefs and to engage in collaborative planning and problem solving around the problem that has been posed. Problem posing helps students to understand the social, historical, and cultural forces that shaped the context in which they live, and then helps empower them to take action and make decisions in order to gain control over their lives in that context.

A classroom using a participatory approach is different from many teacher-fronted classrooms that have been typical in language learning setting. Participatory approach, through the concept of Freire,  opposes the old "banking method" of teaching where the teacher acts as depositor of information and students act as recipients.
